We thrive on inspiring and empowering communities and businesses and all who live and work in Somerset to share a passion for Somerset and to encourage them to celebrate all the county has to offer.
This year’s celebrations were linked to, and followed on from, the Coronation when, amongst many other events, we invited everyone to take part in creating a record for Somerset’s biggest ever quiz, themed around Somerset, its crown jewels and Royal connections.
In the lead up to, and over, the second weekend in May we celebrated the economy, history, heritage, beauty and culture of Somerset.
Show your pride in our County and join us in turning Somerset into a sea of Somerset flags and more on and around May 11th.
Find the best independent businesses and shops to shop local, support local.
The not-for-profit Passion for Somerset Community Interest Company was formed in 2014 to celebrate and promote the economy, history, heritage, beauty and culture of Somerset.
We promote and support engagement and togetherness across this diverse county – one county for all and equal opportunities for all.
We are a catalyst to encourage and inspire everyone in Somerset to join together, have fun and celebrate the unique, diverse, friendly and wonderful place that is the county of Somerset.
